Women’s rights are human rights. And investing in women and girls is one of the surest ways to make the world a better place Yet, progress on gender equality has been slow and uneven. It’s time to take action and deliver the equality our world so sorely needs. Women and girls are changing the world. Let’s change the world for women and girls.

A few months ago, Afghan women came forward to share testimony for the People’s Tribunal for Women of Afghanistan. Their courage helped produce today’s judgment, which finds the Taliban responsible for gender persecution and operating an apartheid-like system of control over girls and women. The judgment also highlights a major gap. International law does not yet recognise gender apartheid as a crime. Afghan women made this moment possible and they want real action. Sahar Halaimzai, Senior Director of Policy and Advocacy at Malala Fund, reflects on what this means for the upcoming Crimes Against Humanity treaty negotiations and for efforts to protect the rights of girls and women everywhere.
